Egytreat
104 Concentrate
Super
Plasticiser for Special
Mortars
General
Specifications
: Egytreat 104 Concentrate is a brown powder
processed of a number of dry organic & inorganic compounds which
are highly
soluble in potable water. The resulting brown solution acts as a super
plasticiser, water reducer and flowing concrete admixture. The addition
of this
admixture results in better workability of mortars and the enhancement
of the
quality of the product regarding the development of higher strength,
lower
porosity & less water absorption. The most important modification
is the
high adhesive character developed in the mortar as a result of the
addition of
this admixture.
Fields
of applications
: The solution
of Egytreat 102 is suitable as an admixture to mortars formed from all
types of
Portland cements which are used in underwater constructions, bridges,
tanks …
etc, and which are subjected to different environmental conditions.
This
admixture is particularly developed for use with cement mortars applied
as a
final coat in artificial lakes.
Advantages : The use of
this admixture could result in the following advantages:
• Significant
reduction in water/cement ratio without significant change in
the setting time. However, possible retarding effect could result from
the
excessive use of this admixture.
• Develop
significant self leveling in mortars and concrete.
• Increase
in the early strength of mortars.
• Decrease
in porosity, water absorption and permeability; hence better
resistance to water born chemicals and harmful salts.
• Reduce
shrinkage and drying cracks
• Relative
increase in density, compressive strength and resistance to
environmental Increase the adhesion of the modified
mortar
to older cement plasters & concrete.
• The
admixture is free of chlorides.
Utilization:
• Preparation
of the solution: This is achieved by the dissolution of the
dry powder in the appropriate amount of water. Normally, the rate is
one pack
(3 kgs.) in 20 lts of water or one pack (7.5 kgs) in 50 lts of water.
• Egytreat 104
solution is added during the mixing process with water or it could be
added to
the water prior mixing.
Rate
of Use:
about 1 liter of Egy treat 104 solution to
each cement bag. The rate could be varied according to desired
properties after
performing necessary tests.
Precautions:
Egy treat
104 powder and solution are nontoxic and inflammable.
Storage:
18 months in dry and suitable storage conditions.
